TOOL FOR CUTTING CLAY.

Application filed July 13.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KARLBUsoH, a sub-f ject of the German Emperor,residing at Grossalmerode, in the Province of He'ssen- Nassau, GermanEmpire, have invented a new and Improved Tool for Cutting Clay, of whichthe following is a specification.

This inventionrelatesto a new tool for cutting from-clay beds, clayblocks of equal size and uniform sha e, which may be readily loaded andstore In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a sideview of my improvedtool'for cutting clay; Fig. 2 a side view of the cutting blade, and Fig.3 a face view thereof.

The numeral 1.0. indicates a 'neuniatic :h'ammer provided at' one endwit a handle 11. At its other end the hammer is socketed as at 12 forthe reception'of'shank 13 of blade 14 having lower cutting edge 15.Blade or cutter 14 is so bent in relation to its shank 13, that the axisof the cutter is inclinedto' Specification of Letters Patent.

i the axis of the shank and consequently to the axis of the hammer.

In use the tool is driven into the clay bed so that blade 14 makes theout desired. During this operation, hammer 10 and handle 11 are, owingto the bend in blade 14, so deflected into the pit as to clear the wallof clay extending along-the cut.

I claim:

A tool for cutting clay composed oi a pneumatic hammer, a handle on oneend of the -hammer, and a cutter removably secured to the other endof'the hammer, the axis of the cutter being inclined to the axis of thehammer, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at Cassel, Germ any this 16th day of June 1906.
